True, and I would have to agree there. Now if there were a tad of naturally occurring Everglades somewhere in the lineage for whatever reason which is quite common in wild specimens, it could still be about as close as you could get more or less. As you know, if it is not a 50/50 amount of each, and only a fairly distant amount of Everglades in the animal's genetic composition, it can be pretty tough to discern in a normal phenotype animal.

At least it wouldn't be from a hodge-podge of all three subspecies, i.e."bubblegum rat"...LOL!
